I’m looking forward to seeing how the helicopter performs.

I read the story and am surprised (disappointed) to learn there are no scientific instruments on board.

Maybe next time.

It is a technology demonstrator only - very high risk.

I hope that if it survives the planned test flight regimen, NASA can at least occasionally take some time to fly it to Percy's current position, and try it out in a "forward scout" mission. But it needs to fly AT ALL first.
